The Public Relations Team of Good Versus Evil

If evil has a superpower, it isn’t wealth or violence – it’s public relations. The shady-deeds PR team has been given a blank check to cover their tracks, whitewash their sins, and polish their image. Their job is to make murder look like a misunderstanding, theft like smart business, and abuse like a victimless crime. And we – the public – swallow it whole. We say we want justice, but we excuse predators. We say we want fairness, but we refuse accountability.

Proof no longer matters. The system can show you a video of a hate crime, and police departments will still label it “a misunderstanding.” Judges will bend laws for one group while slamming another with maximum penalties. Reporters will knowingly distort headlines to soften crimes committed by white perpetrators while criminalizing minorities for simply existing. The PR machine has made truth optional. That’s how we end up with repeat offenders – murders, rapists, and thieves – finding success again and again. Failed politicians get reelected. Serial abusers hide behind money, influence, and a chorus of willful accomplices.

Meanwhile, entire communities participate in spreading lies. White America has long sold the myth of the “absent Black father,” even while many pay nannies to raise their children. Some women weaponize motherhood – presenting themselves as struggling single moms to gain sympathy while simultaneously collecting government benefits, child support, and using children as leverage to withhold access from fathers. The hypocrisy is staggering, but the PR spin makes it palatable.

Look at Epstein, Weinstein, or Trump. These men didn’t operate inn isolation; their empires of abuse relied on armies of enablers – assistants, lawyers, friends, politicians, even family – who took the money, closed their eyes, and became accessories to the next batch of victims. Businesses exploit millions, and when the grift runs out, suddenly those same employees and partners want to claim disgust. But once you’ve profited from the deed, you’re not a victim – you’re an accomplice.

The rot isn’t confined to individuals. It’s systemic:

  • Corporations knowingly sell harmful products, pocket billions, and treat lawsuits as minor expenses while consumers die.
  • Judges prosecutors and attorneys sentence minorities on trumped-up charges while white offenders walk free.
  • Church officials guilty of abuse are quietly transferred instead of jailed.
  • Religious community justifying genocide while claiming to be the chosen.
  • Reporters spread false information with impunity, destroying reputations and excusing white criminals.
  • Elderly abusers escape accountability because their crimes are “too old to punish,” while young men lose their lives to prison for lesser mistakes.
  • Police officers brutalize civilians and demand respect for laws they themselves ignore, and many break themselves.
  • Contractors cut corners and face no obligation to refund the people they cheat.
  • Women shame men for wanting equality in financial partnership, yet when divorce comes, they take half without hesitation.

And still, the system shields itself. Corporations fined for lying about dangerous products? The money goes to governments, not consumers. False police reports and accusations ruin lives, but the perpetrators walk free. Legal system employees manipulate facts, ruin the innocent, and face no jail time. The PR machine keeps the image clean while justice rots underneath.

Here’s the bitter truth: doing the right thing isn’t complicated. It’s just not profitable. Right now, being a jerk – male or female, politician or priest, CEO or cop – pays better than integrity.

Imagine if accountability were universal. Imagine if white families were charged 25-50% more for loans and insurance because they “get sunburned.” Imagine if police officers faced the same laws they claim to uphold. Imagine if billionaires and corporations were denied subsidies (welfare) and forced to pay their fair share of taxes. Imagine if businesses had to refund every consumer they deceived – not just pay fines into government coffers, aka slush-funds. Imagine if women faced equal consequences for child abuse or domestic violence.

Above all, imagine if the same impossible standards forced onto Black men were applied to everyone else. Then maybe people would understand the outrage. Then maybe the excuses would dry up. Then maybe the PR machine of evil would finally lose its shine. But until accountability becomes universal – until no one is above the law, no one is shielded by money, race, or status – the PR team of evil will keep winning. And we will keep clapping as they destroy us, one polished lie at a time.

Until then, I pray, the same voices who say racism doesn’t exist because they “never owned slaves” continently ignore how much they profit from the system built on exploitation. I challenge white supremacists to live one year in Black skin, stripped of their protections, and face their own hate. See how tough they remain when society turns its back on them.

Do you really believe your life’s deeds are equal to your voiced judgments? Are you one of the few who hasn’t abused the information within this article? Have you fought for justice, or have you fought to support evil’s PR team?

Right now is always the best time to do what’s right.

    I understand due to internal guilt many will bypass my posts that simply stand for social justice.
